The proposal was to not allow you to change your e-mail address unless you can enter your old (current) e-mail correctly; making your e-mail address a bit like a second password. A problem with this is that it needs to address the unlikely situation of someone not remembering what their old e-mail address was. Or, more likely, when someone enters their e-mail address incorrectly and doesn't notice and so can never change their e-mail address again. This is the same reason why I haven't made it so you have to enter your old password in order to change your password. Perhaps you should be required to enter at least two of your password, e-mail address, and "real name" in order to be able to change (or see) any of them? And it'd be nice if we had a solution for the "I forgot my password and I no longer have that e-mail address" problem. At least we no longer output the password in the HTML when you edit your home node. - tye In reply to Re^2: Email security for monks?
